Cafe de Flore

The Café de Flore, at the corner of Boulevard Saint Germain and Rue St. Benoit, is one of the oldest and the most prestigious coffee houses in Paris, celebrated for its famous clientele.

The name is taken from a sculpture of Flora, goddess of flowers and the season of spring in Roman mythology, located on the opposite side of the boulevard.

The Café de Flore offers a wide menu range from teas, coffees, hot chocolates, alcoholic drinks and juices — from snacks to full meals — with favorities like toasties and croissants, omelettes, salads, soups and desserts.

Oh I love this place wish I could enjoy sitting there with a good friend like you. I will send you sunshine as you asked if you will send us some rain in return. It has just been too hot here and we are so ready for fall. Hugs, Lu

Dear Kerri,Oh it is just beautiful! I have always wanted to visit Paris. Maybe one day.Thank you so much for visitng and your kind words about my painting Moonbeam.. I was inspired by Beverly's horse. I hope you had time to click the link and visit her beautiful farm.

It is so nice you were able to have a horse growing up.. I wished for one when I was little every Christmas.Blessings,Penny

Oh sweet Kerri!!! I HAVE BEEN THERE!!!! What a fantastic area, that WHOLE PLACE! I remember this place distinctly. OH DEAR, I have to go back....Now were you there? HAVE YOU BEEN????? IF YOU ARE EVER IN PARIS, you must go to Angelina's. Their hot chocolate is like PUDDING.....you do so much walking in Paris that you loose weight, I kid you not. I had the time of my life there!
